Not trying to be a jerk here, but Google is your friend.

P0601 means your PCM is on its way out. Need a new computer.
P0401 usually means something is wrong with your EGR system. This one I'd ignore until after the computer is replaced, see if it comes back after that.

Click on those links for more information.
